Definently recommended on a LET tbh, when youve got the turbo heating the oil up!

Just use a standard xe/let one, mines just cable tied to the slam panel and radiator.

As per adams post. I'd always run one on a let, will it front at the bottom of the front panel?

Mine is here. I have removed the slam panel support now though and got two uprights to bolt the cooler too.

aftermarket 'gsi' ones tend to be bigger, like lee's above.
